Take me to the Top
Take me to the top
high tops and hard knots
flip whips and hard knocks
stacks in the shoe box
glock in the glove box
diamonds in my watch
watching my life dissappear like tick tock
six feet under end up in a wooden box
food for worms , snakes and the other what nots
cant seem to escape from the land of the have nots
system only comfortable with me caged up in a box
so my son will grow up always looking for his pops
aint one around so he look up to the picture box
I am replaced by images of thugs, gangstas and what nots
mind of a nigga, a considerable fort knox
cant get past the bullshit and ignorance master lock,
only concerned with methods of how he gettin it in
doin whatever it takes to stack up my dividends
sellin my soul so I can push a broken down Benz
Alien in this land , society treat me like foreign
anytime a complaint is stated , just say im bitchin
and thats exactly why I put all my work in the kitchen
turn nothing into something , who's getting paid then?
Its me...
supposedly free
Mind wrapped twice around the past
a future I cant even see
I look up to you lord , is this my destiny?
Do I really have control over the unseen?
Cant see the stars no more , So I copped some shiny bling
dont wanna hear the world no more , So I turn up the beat
shit aint safe no more, So I cop myself some heat
I am a walking zombie, I feel dead in my feet
on my way to school , prostitutes cross the street
cars drive past and I hear horns beep beep
dope boy at the car wash , stands low as if the police wont see
Heavy in my heart , on the verge of blasphemy
Where are you God, my damn feet are weary and weak
you supposed to pick me up when I feel that buckle in my knees
Promised my girlfriend the world and I ask myself honestly
how long the world gonna be around? I guess Ill have to wait and see
live the fast life slow it down with the green
misty red eyes so I cant even see
all the pain , lies , hurt and misery
feel for you world I give my heart to thee
starting to understand why you sacrificed J.C.
just wish everyone else could see
from where I stand , from the bottom looking up
aint got much , but I know I aint stuck
refuse to be the fly on the wall, I am more than just a bug
dont have to infect society like the rest of the thugs
clothe myself in God's love ,
and look to the heavens above
stare my girl in the eyes and hopefully she knows
your man is trying baby , no other place to go
my seed gone be raised here so I must try before I go
to preach my seeds of hope to you world
and pray that they grow
I wonder if they ever will , only time can show
high tops and hard knots
flip whips and hard knocks
stacks in the shoe box
glock in the glove box
diamonds in my watch
watching my life dissappear like tick tock
six feet under end up in a wooden box
food for worms , snakes and the other what nots
cant seem to escape from the land of the have nots
system only comfortable with me caged up in a box
so my son will grow up always looking for his pops
aint one around so he look up to the picture box
